To those who have stripped one of these out !! Is it hard ?

I am thinking of doing my outer subframe bushes ( delta links I believe they are called )

So I thought about getting a subframe from another car, getting it powder coated, replacing discs, bearings, bushes etc and then swapping over

1st off … has anyone done these end links DIY …the ‘net suggests ita real PITA
How easy Is it to remove / replace rear frame ?

All help appreciated

Those are a bit of a pain!!!

The have to drilled/chiselled/cut out....

I have done quite a few, and just takes time and some elbow getting them out.

Undo the bolt where sub frame is with supports to the sub frame, then i drilled out he bushing as much as possible, chiselled around the bush and they finally pulled out with a nice tug!
